OTTAWA — DON'T LET UP. The United States must continue to push the Soviet Union for progress on human rights even if the two superpowers sign an arms control agreement, Soviet dissident Natan Shcharansky said Tuesday. Shcharansky, 39, changed his name from Anatoly when he emigrated to Israel. He is in Ottawa to meet with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and other political leaders. As for the the new Soviet policy of glasnost, or openness, Shcharansky said, ''Gorbachev understands the importance of opening the gates of the West to the Soviet Union. Of course he can't dismantle the system.''
